All of the publicity surrounding mold, or as the media has sensationalized it, "black" or "toxic mold", along with the multimillion - dollar lawsuits, public awareness is in high gear when it comes to mold and it's hazards. Mold has always been around and is a natural organism. Mold spores need a few things to grow:
1 - Moisture - humid air, a dripping pipe, or major flooding.
2 - Food - wood and wood products, paper, cotton, and leather.
3 - The right temperature - above freezing and below 120 degrees.
There are several steps we take to ensure that your mold problem is remedied for good.
1- We seal off all foundation vents
2- Make sure the HVAC is turned off. In winter months, in MUST be turned down.
3- Set up the air scrubber (HEPA) hook it up through the vent or crawl door access. ( It is ran while doing step #5)
4- Proclean all wood that needs to be cleaned.
5- Scrub (brush) ALL the wood! The wood must be dust, dirt and cobweb free!
6- Mycodyne all the wood in the crawlspace, it must have an even coverage. The wood is to be dripping wet.
7- We then install new black 6mil plastic throughout the entire crawl space, 100% coverage (wall to wall) even through the crawl divider wall access. Use poly spikes every 10 feet, and make sure the spikes are pushed down through the plastic into the soil, flush with the ground.
